Creating Scheduled Payments in GP
You can choose the interest rate, payment frequency, and other information
when you create a payment schedule, and you can create a payment schedule using
any posted document. Payment schedules are created from documents.
Payment schedules may vary based on the vendor or the kind of goods or services
that are being purchased. You can edit any information on unposted payment
schedules, as well as the interest and number of payments for posted payment
schedules.
When you create payment schedules, you select specific accounts to
distribute the interest and principal portions between. The following chart
shows what accounts to use and how they are debited and credited.
